Alistair Overeem has had an amazing career as a fighter, from kickboxing to mixed martial arts, he’s held multiple world titles and still competes at the highest level in the world in the UFC. He’s had some ups and downs throughout his career, but always seems to manage to hang in there. He’s also hilarious…

It could be an age thing, it could be a lot of reasons but… you know.
